Russia beats U.S. to advance to Billie Jean King Cup final against Switzerland
Russia won the decisive doubles match Friday to beat the United States 2-1 and reach the final of the Billie Jean King Cup.
Samsonova, who also beat Stephens at this year’s Wimbledon, was making her singles debut for Russia and said she was “a little bit nervous.”For Stephens, it was her first loss in the competition since the 2017 final, ending a streak of five wins. Switzerland advanced to the semis from Group D, considered the toughest in the tournament, defeating both the Czech Republic and Germany on the way.
Djokovic is also vying for a record 37th Masters title. He is tied on 36 with fellow 20-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal. Earlier, Hurkacz beat Australian James Duckworth 6-2, 6-7 , 7-5 to secure the last spot for the season-ending ATP Finals.
